I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Lawmakers from both parties consider the Justice Department’s piecemeal release of files so far to be wholly inadequate to what the law requires. They’re not treating it as a small thing, either. Good.

There's a lot wrong here, but I just can't get over the Beltway belief that Democrats have to be "laser-focused" on affordability issues and affordability alone.
